Transparency


The sound of his voice soothes my restlessness;

just hearing him speak calms my mind.
When he utters my name, I must confess,
my resolve begins to unwind….

And all that I vowed I would keep inside
then emerges into the light.
This attraction I feel can’t be denied,
though I try with all of my might.

What about him causes me to reveal
those facets once hidden from sight,
exposing to him the passions I feel —
passions only he can excite?

If his voice alone causes me to dare
to make plans for a rendezvous,
what happens when into his eyes I stare?
What will they inflame me to do?

With him in my life, my heart opens wide,
and love emanates from my soul.
This relationship leaves no room for pride: 
Transparency must be the goal!
